The cornerstone was laid at
Palo Alto, CAL, on May 18th, for the
great Leland Stanford, Jr., University.
Although the donations of Senator
Stanford and wife aggregate $780,
600, 000-land valued at $1,000, 900
and s14,7oO,00O in money-yet the
ceremonies were ostentatious and
simple. After an eloquent prayer by
Rev. DR.. Stebbins and an address by
Judge Sawyer, Senator Stanford
placed in position a copper box con-
tanning photographs of his son, a his.
tory of the bequest, coins of all de-
nominations minted by the United
States, keepsakes of his wife, ETC.,
etc., and with an ordinary mason's
trowel spread the mortar and placed
the upper stone in place, tapping Il
three times and pronouncing it we'll
laid. A psalm was read, hymn sung
by the village choir, the benediction
bestowed, and the services were over.
Thus in all simplicity did noble cit
izen dedicate princely gift to the
betterment and enlightenment of his
race.
